ABSTRACT
This chapter describes the experience of water management practices of a 2-ha experimental fish farm located at the junction of Ponggol Road and Fishing Port Road between the Ponggol and Serangoon Rivers. All stormwater collected through a network of storm drains is filtered with a filtration bed packed with sand and nylon mats before it is stored at the water storage lagoon which has an effective volume of 6600 m. Water conservation is essential to meet water needs for domestic, industrial, and agricultural activities. The agro-industrial water requirement is typically high. For freshwater fish cultivation, it is important to have reliable sources of good quality water. The development of improved stormwater collection and management practices is a major challenge for any fish farming activities in Singapore. The City State of Singapore has a total land area of around 620 km2 of which 52% are urbanized and 48% reserved for water catchment and park and recreation.
